** "And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, 'Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!'"

The season of salvation.

(12/20/24) column: "In case my friend Luke isn’t clear enough, Christmas is about the hope of salvation. The good tidings proclaimed by the angel are that the savior has come to all the people. Every single person, no matter how broken or sad or lost, has the ability to redeem their life. Charles Dickens’ 'A Christmas Carol' is the most popular story associated with Christmas in the English-speaking world because it is about the possibility of hope and optimism that is at once both religious and realistic. An old man, buried in misery, loneliness and remorse, learns it is never too late to change one’s life and, in so doing, change the lives of those around us for the better. Despite the quicksand of our particular problems — and the useless paralysis caused by regret — we can choose a better path. It is always tempting to get caught up in the chaff of preparing for Christmas. Is the house clean enough? Did I buy the right presents or spend the right amount of money? That’s all trivia. The
gifts and the parties are enthusiastic, if sometimes imperfectly understood, expressions of our optimism, hope and joy because those who have walked in darkness — and that is all of us — have seen a great light. Those of us lucky enough to be believers have been given a great gift, and we should be prepared to share what we have been freely given. People all around us are hungry for hope and meaning in their lives. Many of them are only dimly aware that we celebrate what they seek."
